They Might As Well Ask The Wind To Quit Blowing
CIA photos ’show UK Guantanamo detainee was tortured’
Lawyers for a British resident who the US government refuses to release from Guantanamo Bay have identified the existence of photographs taken by CIA agents that they say show their client suffered horrific injuries under torture.
The photographic evidence will be vital to clear Binyam Mohammed, 27, who the Americans want to bring before a Military Commission on charges of terrorism, say his lawyers.
Last week it emerged that Britain had negotiated the release of four detainees who have British residence status but Mr Mohammed, who speaks with a London accent, and at least three others are being held back.
In a letter sent to the Foreign Secretary David Miliband, Britain is urged to ask the US to stop the CIA destroying the pictures.
The world really needs to get used to the fact that the United states of America has joined the ranks of countries that sanction torture, this is a a fact that has been globally evident for years now, and for all we know it’s a practice they have been engaged in for a lot longer than that.
While the calls may go out nobody really expects that countries like Burma, or North Korea, or Iran, or China, or any number of other countries in the world, will toss up their hands and say, “golly gee, that was wrong of us, we’re sorry, and we’re not gonna do that anymore” so why would this bunch think that the US will be any different?
I missed the Sunday open trackback post so we’re gonna do it today.
